Hallo. Our Samba Server is used to provide a DOS program that uses the DOS database btrieve. Sometimes the opening and using of these programs is very slow. There seem to come no data from the server. The programm has very much files in one directory (ca. 50.000). Is this a problem? the opening of a program "sleeps" sometimes for 1 Minute. If we put the windows into the background and start the program a secound time it runs in normal speed while the other program ist still waiting. I Do not know what to do! Here is our smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User null passwords = Yes keepalive = 10 logon script = login.bat domain logons = Yes os level = 128 socket options = TCP_NODELAY preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes security = user wins support = Yes kernel oplocks = yes oplock break wait time = 10 time server = Yes log level = 4 printing = lprng printcap name = /etc/printcap add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /dev/false -M %u character set = ISO8859-1 client code page = 850 [prog] path = /data/prog writeable = Yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 oplocks = no Thanks for your help, Andre -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
